Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance? Class C shares of the Fund returned 3.40% (unadjusted for sales charges) for the period ended May 31, 2024. The Fund's index, the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index, returned 2.67% for the same period. Municipal market prices were pressured over the period by higher U.S. Treasury yields and greater-than-expected new issue supply. Lower quality issues in the BBB and high yield rating categories led municipal market performance as recession fears eased, supporting credit sentiment broadly. In addition, high yield prices benefited from very low new issuance. While yield increases were more muted than for U.S. Treasuries, the municipal curve finished higher along its length for the 12 months. The Fund was overweight issues rated BBB and below investment grade, supporting returns as lower quality segments of the municipal market outperformed. The Funds tilt toward longer maturities proved beneficial to performance as the higher income offered by these issues more than offset the negative impact on prices as the municipal yield curve moved higher. In sector terms, overweight allocations to continuing care retirement community, charter school, prepaid gas, and toll facility bonds aided performance. While there were no material detractors, the Funds underweight to general obligation issues weighed marginally on relative performance. | |

While yield increases were more muted than for U.S. Treasuries, the municipal curve finished higher along its length for the 12 months. The Fund was overweight issues rated BBB and below investment grade, supporting returns as lower quality segments of the municipal market outperformed. The Funds tilt toward longer maturities proved beneficial to performance as the higher income offered by these issues more than offset the negative impact on prices as the municipal yield curve moved higher. In sector terms, overweight allocations to continuing care retirement community, charter school, prepaid gas, and toll facility bonds aided performance. While there were no material detractors, the Funds underweight to general obligation issues weighed marginally on relative performance. | |

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance? Institutional Class shares of the Fund returned 4.31% for the period ended May 31, 2024. The Fund's index, the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index, returned 2.67% for the same period. Municipal market prices were pressured over the period by higher U.S. Treasury yields and greater-than-expected new issue supply. Lower quality issues in the BBB and high yield rating categories led municipal market performance as recession fears eased, supporting credit sentiment broadly. In addition, high yield prices benefited from very low new issuance. While yield increases were more muted than for U.S. Treasuries, the municipal curve finished higher along its length for the 12 months. The Fund was overweight issues rated BBB and below investment grade, supporting returns as lower quality segments of the municipal market outperformed. The Funds tilt toward longer maturities proved beneficial to performance as the higher income offered by these issues more than offset the negative impact on prices as the municipal yield curve moved higher.
